Summary "Ariel: A Shelley Romance" by André Maurois is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of the renowned poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, exploring his tumultuous experiences at Eton, his sensitive nature, and his defiance against societal norms. Notably, the story centers around Shelley as a young boy and his struggles to navigate life in an environment filled with strict discipline and rigid expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Eton in 1809, where Dr. Keate, the headmaster, enforces brutal discipline among the students, shaping them into "hard-faced men." Among the boys is the delicate and sensitive Percy Bysshe Shelley, who instead of conforming, challenges the rules and faces cruelty from his peers. As he becomes an object of ridicule, Shelley finds solace in the world of books and philosophy, particularly influenced by thinkers like Godwin and Diderot. This portion sets the tone for a richly detailed exploration of Shelley's character, laying the groundwork for his later conflicts and relationships as he grapples with love, rebellion, and ideals that will shape his life and work.
